CITY EXTENSIONS NEEDS.
THE NEW COUNCIL IN FAVOR OF
lMPROX Vent.

An Effort to Secure the Opening of the
Streets and the Improvement OF the
City's Lsnds-How the Balance Due on
the Dillon Tr,ct is to be Paid-Cost of
the PrOpossd improvements.
An effort 10 TO be made, it is und err
stood, TO induce the new Board Of Alder
men to open tie streets in the city extern
sion this spring.
At the last meeting OF Council Alder
man Thomas offered some resolutions,
the object OF which was to authorize the
improvement of the extension.
One resolution provided for the grading
otthe clty's lands, south OF Anderson, as
soon as possible. There are some batter
les to be leveled and other trading to be
done and if it IL not done before MAY | il
cannot be done until after \ ov. l unless
the consent of the sanitary Commission
is obtained.
THE QUESTION OF COST.
An objection was raised to the resolu-
ton on account of the probable cost OF the
grading. Those In favor of going ahead
with the work argue that no matter
whether the cost will be $1,000, which
was the City Surveyors estimate, or
$1,000. it is an expense that will have to
be met some time, and the sooner the
better. There is said TO be a demand for
the lots In the Dillon tract which was
bought few months ago by the city,
There is still due SIS 00G Of the purchase
money, and it Will soon have to be paid.
BIG ITEM
No provision was made in the budget
to meet that item, and it is argued that
the readiest way to meet It is to market
the clty's lots. If they are first graded
the city Will, of course, realize more out
Of them than If they are disposed OF as
they are now.
A large part Of the extension is owned
by parties who hold their lots at rather
high figure, and parties who want to
buy cheap lot to build upon are anxious
to have the city market its lots.
HOW THE WORK Is TO BE DONE.
If the streets are laid out and improved
the work will probably he done under the
direction OF the COMMITTEES on Streets and
Lanes, of which Alderman Thomas is
Chairman, and the Committee OF City
Lots, OF which Alderman Haines is Chair
man. There is growing sentiment in
favor of the work being done this spring.
Alderman Thomas proposed that the
City Treasurer be directed to keep an ac-
count with the extension improvement,
charging it with ali expense for grading.

with all sales, etc. 1t is believed that if
this is done the sale of lots viii more than

The cambridge Democrat gives the
following version of an affair mentioned
in the Georgia column of Saturdays
NEWS:
On Saturday night last there occurred
near Recovery, a station on the SaVan-
nah, Florida and Western railway, on the
Florida line, in the lower part of this
county, one OF those shameful and fiend-
ism crimes that occasionally stains the
records of the cou1ts-resulting in the
severe injury of a peaceable though indis-
Greet citizen, MIR. Hornsby, a section boss
in the employ of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad and the burning of
the house and its contents, which be &C.
cupied-a building owned by the road and
known in railroad parlance as a section
shanty. We CLEAN the following facts
concerning the affair from Sheriff Patter-
son, who attended the preliminary hear
ing on Tuesday at Recovery before Justice
Atwood:
1t appears from the evidence that
Emma Pickett, notorious character. on
Sunday paid HOrnsby a visit by train
from Vaughan, and spent the night
there. This, it Is evident, greatly excited
the green-eyed monster in the heart OF
probably one OF Hornsby's rivals, who,
calling in the aid of another, determined
to wreak vengeance on the uusuSpeC Ting
victim. At about 10 O'Clock a tool shanly
was broken into with two crow
bars. and axes were obtained, and
the attack made, after Hornsby
and his guest had eXtinguished
the lights and retired. A rail afforded an
effective battering rama window smut.
Tor. al bvSo God
being the point OF attack. he onslaught
was made before a word was spoken-the
first intImation the inmates having being
the crushing In of the shutter, which, to.
gether with the batterIng ram, fell
across the bed. Hornsby and guest
fled for their lives to a neghbor-
ing negro house, the inmates of
which were still up around the fire. Soon
tue attacking parties discovered their
place OF cOnceameut and rene wed the
attack. not before. however, the doors and
windows were barred. A siXteen-foOt
plank, torn from fence near by, afforded
a form idaOle weapon in the hands of the
attackers-it being inserted through a
crack which they hewed through the side
OF the building. With this Hornsby was
mercIessly punched, beaten and
bruised. The terror-stricken negro $
had taken refuge upon the
jOlsUS OF the buildng-whlther, ulti.
mately, Hornsby also cimbed-atter los
ing part of his scalp and receiving many
smaller wounds, Soon after this the at
tackers lett, and in few minutes it W as
discovered that Hornsby's house was on
fire and rapidly burning up-the pre-
sumption being that the attackers had
returned and fired 1t. The roof soon fell
in and the house and contents went up in
smoke.

BETTER SILENT CONTEMPT.

II the knights of Labor wish to
take up every adverse criticism or
unjust attack upon their actions and
motives as body, they will have
their hands full, and will not add
thereby any credit to the noble
cause they represent. They need
no defence individually, more than
aay other class of good citizenship.
AS an Order they can best defend
their principles by rising above the
notice of personal or political con
tentions into which their enemies
seek to draw them, ostensibly for a
well defined purpose. By silent
contempt of all self-seeking objects,
they maintain their respect and
dignity, and preserve the influence
that would be lost by condescension
to the level of an enmity that would
abuse them because it cannot use
them. AS for public sentiment they
need have no fear. They are a part
of the public, and their rights and
welfare are bound to be respected
as long as they are properly and
honestly advocated. The people
are not ignorant OF the source aud
motives of hostility that is hostile
to everything outside of the pale of
a fighting antagonism's selfinterest.

All this harangue we hear about

All this harangue we hear about
efforts made to convict a cOlored
character before our Courts, is not
only self.convicting but a reflection
upon the Court and its officers, if it
were so, but the very contrary is the
truth. Certain politicians for the
sake of wrongly-supposed party in.
terests used what little efforts they
could to turn the regular course of
justice, and the thanks they get is
insult and abuse. Courts of justice
can not guard too closely against
personal and political attempts at
variance with legal procedure
There are plenty of such cases in
the general court records of the
country, in which criminals were
shielded by personal or political ex-
ertions. The injustice is rather to
the more unfortunate criminals, who
for the want of such means and
pecuniary aid, pay the highest pen.

miscarriage of justice either one way
or the other, through any fault of
theirs, though frequently it is be-
yond their power to prevent such
wrongs. Where money aud the
force of personal or political inter
ference have more weight than the
oath of sworn officers, the strictest
Judge is powerless; and high public
trusts are too commonly regarded
